i just ordered a new blower for my 2008 escalade and was hoping for help too! did you ever get it figured out?

 

So, all of a sudden it sounds like a family of crickets moved into the passenger's side of my Escalade. I had this happen in another car, replaced the front blower motor and never had that squeaking again. Does anyone know if this is something I can do on my own? Seems like the parts are available on eBay for cheap. I assume this is the part number... The BOSCH Part Number Is 52008152 GM Part Numbers are 891019301, 20760618, 1581644, 20958710, 1581701 I hope someone has been down this route before. $300 at the dealer seems unreasonable. Thanks!

It is the kick/hush panel is held in place with three screws(7mm socket is needed)

Then you pull it free and you can get to the blower easy

 

thank you, i will give it a go!
